1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—
Xaq jeriꞌ kinchilibꞌej chi nabꞌe na cho ronojel, chibꞌana chꞌawem, tzijonem rukꞌ ri Dios, toj toqꞌobꞌ, xuqujeꞌ tyoxinik, pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq,
2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.
kenabꞌejisax ri ketaqan pa ri tinimit, xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatal taq tzij, rech kꞌo jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ jororem, xuqujeꞌ rech kaqakꞌaslebꞌej jun utz laj kꞌaslemal nim uqꞌij.
3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
Rumal cher sibꞌalaj utz waꞌ we riꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kaqaj cho ri Dios qakolonel.
4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Ri Dios karaj chi konojel kekolotajik, xuqujeꞌ koꞌpan chi retaꞌmaxik ri qas tzij.
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Rumal cher xa jun ri Dios xuqujeꞌ xa jun riꞌ chꞌawenel cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, areꞌ ri Jesucristo ri achi,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
ri xuya ri ukꞌaslemal chi kikolik konojel ri winaq. Are waꞌ ri qꞌalajisanik ri xuya ri Dios pa ri kꞌyaqal qꞌotaj.
7 For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything.
Xubꞌan kꞌu taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij chwe. Qas tzij ri kinbꞌij, man bꞌanoj tzij taq: Ri Dios xubꞌan chwe kinux ajtij ke ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, rech kinkꞌut ri qas tzij rech ri kojobꞌal chkiwach.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
Kawaj kꞌut chi pa ronojel kꞌolibꞌal konojel ri winaq kakibꞌan chꞌawem kakiyak ri kiqꞌabꞌ chikaj, man rukꞌ ta oyawal xuqujeꞌ man pa chꞌoꞌj taj, xane rukꞌ chꞌajchꞌojalaj animaꞌ.
9 Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
Kawaj chi ri ixoqibꞌ utz kakibꞌan che ukojik ri katzꞌyaq jas ri qas taqalik, man kakibꞌananej taj nimal, man kakibꞌan ta xiyoj wi re pispiꞌtal rech kiꞌlitaj chi kumal nikꞌaj winaq, man kakiwiqiqej ta kibꞌ rukꞌ qꞌana pwaq, o rukꞌ taq chachal ri paqal rajil, o rukꞌ ne atzꞌyaq ri sibꞌalaj paqal rajil.
10 but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
Are kꞌu sibꞌalaj utz kekaꞌyik are kakibꞌan ri utz laj taq chak, jacha ri ixoqibꞌ ri kakiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
11 A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness.
Rajawaxik ri ixoq karetaꞌmaj kanimanik rukꞌ jororem.
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
Man kinya ta bꞌe che ri ixoq kuya kꞌutuꞌn che ri achi xuqujeꞌ kataqan puꞌwiꞌ xane chutatabꞌej ri kabꞌixik.
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.
Rumal cher are nabꞌe xbꞌan ri Adán, kꞌa te riꞌ ri Eva.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.
Xuqujeꞌ man are ta ri Adán ri xtaqchiꞌx pa ri mak, xane are ri ixoq ri xtaqchiꞌtaj pa mak, xtzaq kꞌu pa ri mak.
15 Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
Ri ixoq kꞌut kakolotaj na rumal chi are nan, xuqujeꞌ we kukꞌaslebꞌej ri ukꞌaslemal rukꞌ etaꞌmabꞌal pa ri kojonik, pa loqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ kukꞌaslebꞌej ri tyoxalaj kꞌaslemal.
